Description
We study the topological order in the resonating valence-bond state. The elementary excitations have reversed charge-statistics relations: There are neutral spin-1/2 fermions and charge +- e spinless bosons, analogous to the solitons in polyacetylene. The charged excitations are very light, and form a degenerate Bose gas even at high temperatures. We discuss this model in the context of the recently discovered oxide superconductors
